Every human being is hard-wired with a range of ‘superpowers’, that if unlocked, provide us with superhuman abilities to overcome the impossible. In this new extreme adventure format, a group of ordinary celebrities are trained to untap their hidden superpowers in only four weeks. Three mentors challenge and train them in three areas of superhuman endeavour: a record-breaking cold-specialist plunges them into icy baths and sends them climbing half-naked in a snowstorm to train them in surviving in extreme cold; a world champion free-diver teaches them extraordinary breathing abilities and how to cope in limited oxygen environments; and a shaolin monk trains the celebrities in the powers of the mind, and reveals how thinking like a warrior can help with death-defying physical feats. After three weeks, comes the ultimate test: to scale one of the world’s highest and most challenging mountains, wearing as little clothing as possible. Have our celebrities truly unlocked their inner superpowers? And will their intense training and new abilities help them with the terrifying challenge of a lifetime?
“DIETING WITH MY DOG”
“RENOVATE DON’T RELOCATE” – SEASON 2
Genre: Format // Factual Entertainment | Producer/ Broadcaster: Redseven Entertainment for SAT.1 (Germany) Dogs and their owners often look alike – and this goes for their figures too. If an owner enjoys food and can’t resist their pet’s pleading eyes every time they eat, chances are that both will be overweight, unhealthy – and maybe even unhappy. ‘Dieting with my Dog’ challenges five owners and their four-legged friends to put painful joints, high blood pressure and diabetes behind them, and have fun getting fit together. After medical checks, the pairs embark on a series of educational, but fun tasks, challenges and games to improve their diet and exercise regimes. The owners learn how prepare healthy food and improve their swimming techniques, while their pets are encouraged to tackle obstacle courses and retrieve balls. Packed full of useful tips, the activities are overseen by a professional dog trainer and a fitness expert. The host monitors each pair’s progress at weekly weigh-ins and, at the end of the series, the duo that has shed the most kilos wins a ‘Golden Bone’, a luxury wellness break and a cash prize.
Genre: Factual Entertainment | Duration: 20 x 43’ (Total episodes: 40 x 43’ | Outline Productions for HGTV (UK) Season Two of this ground-breaking series mixes smart technology, design and engaging stories to create a home makeover show that transforms homes and the way they are used. In each episode, expert developer and TV host Sarah Beeny, comes to the aid of homeowners living in a property that no longer works for them. From newlyweds and new parents, to people who work from home, she shows them how a little design know-how can improve their lifestyle, save them money and prevent them having to move home. Special cameras are installed to monitor how people really use their home and the data collected helps create a life-size floor plan that highlights problem areas and brings the expert’s design, layout and décor ideas to life. Sarah then tracks the renovation over the following months, and a final reveal of the completed project proves that, if you rethink and redesign the space you have, it is better – and cheaper – to renovate, not relocate!
